Helleborus Winter Ballet Karli

Common Name:
Winter Ballet Karli Hellebore

Description:
Helleborus ‘Winter Ballet Karli’ is a stunning evergreen perennial, prized for its elegant, soft pink flowers that bloom from mid-winter to early spring. Part of the Winter Ballet series, this variety features outward-facing blooms that contrast beautifully against its lush, deep green foliage. The long-lasting flowers gradually deepen in colour as they mature, adding seasonal interest to shaded gardens. Hardy and low-maintenance, Winter Ballet Karli thrives in well-drained soil and is highly tolerant of frost, making it a perfect choice for Melbourne gardens. Ideal for underplanting trees, woodland borders, or container displays, it brings winter colour when most other plants are dormant.
